You’ve got one chance to save your life. Do you take it? Or do you hope for something better to come along? That’s the choice Dakota (Emily Mortimer), a killer for hire, faces. Elmo McElroy (Samuel L. Jackson), still in his kilt, has her by the wrist, dangling off the side of a building. He offers her $1 million to call of the hit or he’ll drop her. She counters. Ah well, life is short.

Once a deal is reached, she lands on a ladder while a crooked cop gets the drop on Elmo. Always interested in what’s up a Scotsman’s kilt, the cop asks as the fabric rises. Little does he know that it may be his last wish.

Life always looks as if it has more possibilities with the kids who get into trouble, have all of the cash and can follow their libidos wherever it takes them. Cat Storm (Dominique Swain) wants a taste and finds that the consequences can be more than she can afford. She is so blinded by her new BFFs and their rudeness, cruelty, brazen behaviour and foolishness, that she can’t see that, when someone goes too far, they will turn on an outsider and it’s her turn.

I know a fellow who got himself a mail-order bride. He wasn’t having any success with local ladies and really wanted to have someone with whom he could share his life. One day, he asked me to take some photos of him and was purposefully vague as to the reason. Some time later, he brought her around to introduce me to her and to explain what was going on. I imagine John (Ben Chaplin) knows what my chum’s life was like. Instead of the Philippines, he contacts a marriage broker for women from Russia. His new fiancée Nadia (Nicole Kidman) is a quiet and attractive woman but she doesn’t speak any English. She is affectionate and affable, John is smitten. The sudden arrival of Nadia’s two gregarious cousins, Alexei (Vincent Cassel) and Yuri (Mathieu Kassovitz) put a real crimp in his life and spins his life out of control.

Practically everyone has another that they imbue with the traits they admire and hope to emulate. Not all of them live up to the standards and some pass before their admirer expects. How do you cope with such a change? Most go on with a pall hanging over them.

Frodo (Elijah Wood) and the others are forced to travel through the Mines of Moria. They are attacked by Orcs and a Troll, and run into a Balrog, an ancient demon of shadow and fire, while attempting to cross the Bridge of Khazad-dûm. Gandalf (Ian McKellen) faces off against the Balrog on the bridge, letting the others escape, while he falls with the creature into the abyss below. What is Frodo to do?

Do you ever wonder if some of these actors are as smart as they appear in the movies and on TV? Or are they as dumb as a bag of rocks? I’d imagine it is somewhere in between. However, when Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt) is picking up a few bucks by tutoring some actors in the rules of poker, you hope that Barry Watson, Shane West, Holly Marie Combs, Topher Grace and Joshua Jackson are smarter than how they come across.
